Description
Hitchcock Sewell, Baltimore’s hippest undertaker and civilian sleuth, is back in a second sly, original mystery.
One of the most charming and offbeat amateur detectives to come around in years, Hitchcock Sewell does for the undertaking profession what Marilyn Monroe did for the ukulele–gives it a touch of class. In this rollicking follow-up to Tim Cockey’s “witty, punchy, snappy, well-written, and dang funny debut” (Harlan Coben, author of The Final Detail), a surprise blizzard dumps more than snow on the steps of Sewell & Sons funeral home–it leaves behind the corpse of a murdered waitress as well. Hitch’s television meteorologist girlfriend sees the crime as an opportunity to move into hard news. Her unctuous mentor wants to beat Hitch to the punch. Hitch’s snooping takes him from low-life strip joints to high-tone mansions, proving yet again that undertakers and their clue-happy cohorts can be a pretty lively bunch.
